Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for lubrication applications where specific surface finish is required.Specify and procure lubricating grade carbon steel sheets designed for reduced friction and improved lubricant retention.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction due to temperature fluctuations during operation.Consider the coefficient of thermal expansion of carbon steel when designing components and ensuring proper clearances.
